Forged Canine Academy offers personalized dog training focused on real world reliability and clear communication. Services include in home private training, behavior modification, puppy foundations, leash skills, confidence building, and service and working dog development. All programs are tailored to the individual dog and handler, with an emphasis on practical skills that carry over into daily life.

Our training approach is humane, ethical, and relationship focused. We prioritize clear communication, consistency, and understanding rather than force or intimidation. Training is built around positive reinforcement, structured guidance, and real world application to help dogs learn reliably without fear or discomfort.

At Forged Canine Academy, we use training equipment that supports clear communication, comfort, and trust. We do not use e collars, choke collars, or tools designed to cause pain or discomfort, as our approach focuses on building a strong, positive relationship between dogs and their handlers.

Training typically involves everyday equipment such as flat collars, martingale collars, harnesses, and standard leashes. We also use food, toys, and real world rewards to help dogs understand expectations and stay engaged in the learning process.

All equipment is chosen with the individual dog and training goals in mind and is used to support learning, not force. Our goal is reliable behavior built through clarity, consistency, and humane methods that carry over into daily life.

Forged Canine Academy focuses on clarity, structure, and trust rather than quick fixes or gimmicks. Training is science informed, fear free, and grounded in practical application so dogs can succeed at home and in public. Owners are an active part of the process, learning how to communicate clearly and confidently with their dog. The goal is not just obedience, but a calm, reliable dog and a capable handler long after training is complete.
